I had seen a picture of the New York State Capitol reflected in a pool, but there was no pool on any side of the building. We were ready to give up when Tim looked at our GPS and found that the pool, which I had concluded by then had been photoshopped into the picture, was located the next block over in a museum plaza. After a lot of driving around we finally found it; I jumped out of the car while he and Sahraa waited for 10 minutes in a no parking zone, and I got my picture.

The building was completed in 1899 at a cost of $25 million (equivalent to $753 million in 2018), making it the most expensive government building of its time.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Looking forward… to getting home! posted earlier:
